ANGEL ON THE
By Joan Wester
This story came from a listener we’ll call Steve, on
host Jack Pattie’s radio show (WVLK-AM in
Steve explained that despite his mother being 93 years
old, she still visited needy people, and would bring food, medicine or anything
else they needed. One day she had been in a house where the driveway wound
through heavy brush and trees right into a very busy highway. Now, attempting
to back out, she could barely see the oncoming traffic, and realized how
difficult and dangerous the conditions were. “Finally,” said Steve, “it looked
clear, and she gunned the engine and reversed out of the driveway.” Too late
she realized that a huge truck was bearing down on her car, now halfway out in
the road. She cried out to God.
Then Steve’s mother saw an enormous angel behind her
car. The angel put its hand on the truck’s hood and slowed it long enough so
she could completely back up, and then drive forward. As she did so, the angel
faded away, but there was now plenty of room between her and the truck.
The elderly woman wanted to believe what she had seen,
but was it true? And who would believe her if she told anyone? She wondered if
the trucker himself had seen anything unusual. Could it have been her
imagination?
At about the same time, there was a preacher living
nearby. He was devout and loved the Lord, but he wasn’t exactly convinced that
angels existed. For awhile, he had been asking God to instruct him, and if
there were indeed angels, to show him in some way.
On a particular morning, he was driving down a highway
that was always quite busy. Ahead of him, on the other side, he saw an elderly
woman attempting to back out into the road. However, he could see what she
didn’t---there was a truck bearing down on her. The trucker probably hadn’t
seen her yet, but when he did, there wouldn’t be enough time to avoid a crash.
Then the preacher saw something wonderful! A huge
winged angel appeared between the two vehicles. Gracefully, the angel reached
over to the truck, now within a short distance from the car. The angel touched
the truck’s hood, and it slowed immediately. That few seconds helped the other
driver pull her car into the road, and proceed safely.
The preacher, stunned beyond words, went home and
wrote up his experience, sending it to a popular angel magazine, where Steve’s
mother read it and realized that there was indeed a witness to her miracle.
Whether the two ever met, we don’t know. But they both received what they
needed most.
